Knives, Tools and Symbol of Freemen

For the longest time the right to be armed with a blade has been a symbol of the Free Man, a reflection of the man who possesses it. Not only to defend oneself and kin but primarily that he is responsible enough to develop a trade, a tool. Whether his trade be butchery, rope making, fishing or killing. Knives are first and foremost a tool of our trade, a hunting knife is not the same as a chef's knife or a fishing knife nor should they be. Each knife serves a purpose, the purpose of the one who possesses it. The supposed soul of the knife is in reality the soul of the man who holds it, cares for it and cherishes it for the purpose it serves. As well as what it means, and if the blade is built well and cared for well it may go on to our grandchildren and our grandchildren's grandchildren. Passing from father to son, woodworker to woodworker, hunter to hunter. A symbol of trade, a symbol of purpose, a symbol of kin.
